  • Synthesis of functional bio-based polymers by precise introduction of cinnamic acids，2021.04 - 2023.03，Synthesis of functional bio-based polymers by precise introduction of cinnamic acids

    Coumaric acids which expected as natural or bio-derived monomers having the functional groups in its molecules were polymerized to develop functional materials. By adding coumaric acid to the polymerization system of polyamide, polyamide-esters having cinnamate units in the main chain structure were synthesized. m-Coumaric acid-based polyamide-esters showed convex deformation in response to ultraviolet light, indicating that the polymer has photoresponsive properties. When coumaric acid was introduced into the polymer chain end, it was confirmed that the polymer is end-functionalized, although quantification of the functionalization efficiency has not been achieved. Through this study, we have gained insight into the photoreactivity of coumaric acids and its correlation in the polymer structure.

  • Eco-friendly polymerization by using ionic liquid，2016.04 - 2018.03，Eco-friendly polymerization by using ionic liquid

    Ionic liquid catalyzed polymerization was carried out by using methyl methacrylate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium type ionic liquid as a monomer and catalyst, respectively. Although ionic liquids different in anionic species were used as catalysts, those that showed polymerization ability were only ionic liquids with acetate anions of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate. By using the catalytic activity of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, the transesterification reaction of cellulose proceeded very highly efficiently. Further, the ionic liquid was separated (recycled) from the solution after the reaction, and the same reaction was carried out once again, and it showed reactivity equivalent to that before recycling. From these results, it can be said that this research is an eco-friendly method and a new reaction system that can synthesize naturally occurring materials.
